Chapter 2: Dancing through the doorway

The train ride was a blur; it had gone by quickly since the three of them had taken it a number of times. They talked, Hermione read, they all enjoyed an assortment of candy from the trolley (courtesy of Harry) and in what seemed like a blink of an eye, they were already sitting in the great hall watching first years being sorted. After the ceremony had finished, Dumbledore got up to make his welcoming speech.

"Welcome one and all, to yet another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As always, Mr. Filch, our caretaker has asked me to inform you..."

"I Think the list of places that are out of bounds for us grows every year," Ron sighed in Harry's ear as Dumbledore continued with his speech, in which he was now announcing the date of Quidditch tryouts.

"And lastly I would like to inform you all of the exchange that you have all received letters about," Dumbledore continued. "We have sent off two students from Hogwarts to go to school at Yksnillow Hpesoj. Those two students were Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnagin."

"That means more room in the dormitory," Ron said excitedly to Harry. "Just us and Neville!"

"And now let me introduce to you the students from Yksnillow Hpesoj School of Magical Practice in Canada," Dumbledore went on. "Lauren Youssiem and Ellie Tennenhouse"

"Well that's a pair of strange names," Harry said to Ron.

"Don't make fun," Hermione intervened. "Our names probably will seem strange to them, besides, we don't even know them. Don't judge a book by its cover." Harry and Ron sniggered to themselves at Hermione's choice of words when suddenly the huge doors to Hogwarts burst open and two (girls') figures came dancing through into the great hall.

Author's note: Sorry this chapter was so short, but I had to break it off here!
